So, it's the morning of my first trip to Baylor Medical. 2:30 am and
wake in a dream. There's this boy in the dream that's been in an accident. I
hear people say "he still has the use of both of his arms and hands." And I
really WAKE UP.
Let me tell anyone what I can still do! I am
independently able to walk, eat, type, go to the rest room, DRIVE, Spin(studio
cycling), dress myself, laugh and cry…to mention a few.
Yesterday
I caught myself feeling sorry for myself, verbalizing my discontent with my
levels of proficiency. I was complaining. I won't even go back there. I am
here. HELL, I have a level of proficiency.
On the same day I saw this
guy, me, planning how to keep my teaching job for another year, so I could get
better, or not, but go back to work in August of 2004. Whatever level of
proficiency I have, to make a contribution, is my everlasting goal. As I
finagle the plan with the School Board, I realize it can work, 8-2004.
Re-assess when I get there. |
I would
like to thank everyone, so far(got a feeling that there are others to meet),
that have been so wonderful to my family, Tonya, Logan and the rest(you know
who you are), and Me.
GOD has opened my eyes again. What do you have?
What can we still do? Focus on the GOOD and be thankful. Compare yourself to
right now only. I have done some amazing Physical and Mental things. Ironman is
both. But there are others and to look back and compare me now to then, well,
hurts, sure. But LOOK at what I can DO. And be where you are and be happy, or
not…just be (happy)who you are and let others enjoy that.
GOD
bless,
Donzaroo |
